# Setting Up a Wallet

Before you start using the Butane dApp, make sure you have a Cardano wallet. Here is a list of few available options:

**Desktop**

1. [Lace](https://www.lace.io/)
2. [Eternl](https://eternl.io)
3. Begin
4. Flint
5. Gero

**Mobile**

1. [Tokeo](https://tokeo.io/)
2. Vespr

Once you have a wallet installed and backed up you need ADA to be able to submit transactions on the Cardano blockchain. You can acquire ADA in a number of ways such as CEX's and bridges.

**Delegation**

To enhance network security and decentralization, consider delegating your ADA to a stake pool. This not only bolsters the network but also earns you rewards. For guidance, see this example on [staking ADA using Eternl](https://medium.com/tap-in-with-taptools/cardano-staking-a-comprehensive-guide-c20fd24eecaf).
